In the last few years microsatellites have become one of the most popular molecular markers
used with applications in many different fields. High polymorphism and the relative ease of …

Population genomics has the potential to improve studies of evolutionary genetics,
molecular ecology and conservation biology, by facilitating the identification of adaptive …

The use, in association studies, of the forthcoming dense genomewide collection of single-
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been heralded as a potential breakthrough in the …

The choice of the summary statistics that are used in Bayesian inference and in particular in
approximate Bayesian computation algorithms has bearings on the validation of the …

Microsatellite DNA loci or short tandem repeats (STRs) are abundant in eukaryotic genomes
and are often used for constructing phylogenetic trees of closely related populations or …

One of the key issues concerning the application of microsatellite DNA data in evolutionary
studies is how the number of loci applied may influence the stability of genetic distances and …

Genetic distances play an important role in estimating divergence time of bifurcated
populations. However, they can be greatly affected by demographic processes, such as …

Microsatellites or short sequence repeats are widespread genetic markers which are
hypermutable 1–6 bp long short nucleotide motifs. Significantly, their applications in …

Previous studies have reported higher levels of divergence for microsatellites than for
allozymes in several species, suggested to reflect stabilizing selection on the allozymes. We …
